Car rally fashions on the field

It was my pleasure to be one of the judges at the Centenary of Canberra Car Rally for the fashion on the field parade along with Nathan and Mel from Librarian Chic.

It was a tough decision picking the overall winners. Many wonderful entrants dressed in period costume to match their cars.

Seven prizes were awarded that were sponsored by the National Museum of Australia and the National Trust.

We were unanimous in our award to Tony and Rebecca with their Isetta, as the winners in the overall category for best-dressed owners and car. The winners of the overall fashion in the field were Faye and her partner who put on a performance for the judges that sealed their winning entry.

"As an enthusiast of the Daimler Marque I am so pleased to see that this worthy old car has been rescued and will be conserved and restored and once again be the subject of public attention. The Daimlers were great cars, often associated with interesting events and times and hopefully this project will help to bring them back into the hearts and minds of the Australian public."
